Ethan Damiano
I don’t have much info on this person yet, but they were named as being a Special Advisor at the SBA, which was a title also assigned to known DOGE member Aram Moghaddassi. His background does seem to be as a field organizer for the Trump campaign, so while he matches the “young, eager, doesn’t ask questions” DOGE demographic, he probably isn’t writing code, especially since he hasn’t been granted the maximum salary and grade like most DOGE operatives.
